	In I Put a Spell on You (1965), Simone explores personal themes-- self-discovery and the joys an sorrows of love. There are 3 French songs-- 2 by Charles Aznavour and one by Jacques Brel, the last sung in French; 3 Broadway showtunes (2 fro m the Anthony Newley-Leslie Bricusse The Roar of the Greasepaint and one from the short-lived The Secret Life of Walter Mitty; 2 compositions, the lyrical "One September Day" and the instrumental "Blues on Purpose, " written by her guitarist Rudy Stevenson; and 2 rhythm and blues numbers by her then-husband Andy Stroud. I. Jurist and E. Merrian's pastoral "July Tree" and a satiny reading of the raucous Screaming Jay Hawkins' r&b hit for which the a lbum is titled complete the program. Arranged by Hal Mooney and Horace Ott for strings, brass and voices, I Put a Spell on You is one of Simone's most adventurous and satisfying recordings. Joel E. Siegel City Paper Washington, D.C.
